A brilliant value for money professional sized piano, the Indonesian made U1J is a testament to Yamaha’s “Company of Origin” ethos, ensuring quality of product through strict manufacturing processes, even outside of their Japanese factory. The U1J comes very close to the performance of the Japanese U1, with identical action geometry and scale design. There is of course a jump in quality moving to the Japanese product, achieved mainly through selection of higher grade materials, giving it a slightly more refined tone.
